The company was formed in 2014 by Artistic Director Lacey Sasso as a premiere contemporary dance group comprised of strong, fierce, passionate women.  The company’s work is bold, emotional, and captivating for the first time dance viewer as well as a seasoned dance lover.

Sasso & Company’s first season was fully backed by a Kickstarter campaign allowing for the full creative focus to be on the psychology behind Love in Motion.  In 2016, Dancing the Distance was performed to two SOLD OUT audiences at Cambridge’s Green Street Studios.  Most recently, the company performed Deeply Rooted to packed houses at The Dance Complex and further explored our mission of collaboration through our immersive performance at the SOWA District’s Kingston Gallery for In Pieces.  Artistic Director, Lacey Sasso is excited to continue to grow the company’s presence in Boston through both formal and informal performances in traditional and non-traditional spaces in the 2018 – 2019 season.

What to expect as a company member:

Ms. Sasso will be creating an all new premiere work and giving new life to seasoned repertory.  In her signature style, movement will be motivated through psychological theory and gestural movement vocabulary.  Dancers need to be ready to dive into their emotional depths to create an environment of complete immersion and commitment to the creative process.

Ms. Sasso’s process is both collaborative and inclusive, making the dancers central to the artistry.  The movement will utilize the dancers’ versatility through partnering, balletic phrases, the sass and syncopation of classic jazz,  and a wide range of gestural contemporary movement. Dancers should be ready to showcase their improvisational skills and willingness to create collaboratively.
